Sixth Form

GIS Sixth Form, your pathway to world-class results

and the best universities in the World.

Our mission is to educate the youth of today for tomorrow’s future. We know that the challenges that our young people will face in their life is unknown; we aim to prepare them to be able to take their productive place and make a difference in the World.

Students at Garden undertake a high quality academic programme that sits alongside our GIS Diploma: designed to develop our students in all of the GIS Learner Skills. From developing resilient individuals to effective contributors our holistic education programme supports the personal development of all of our students.

Our students gain admission to the best universities in the World; they make a difference to those around them; they leave equipped to take on the challenges of life beyond formal education programmes.

Life in the Sixth Form at GIS is challenging, hectic but, above all, exciting. Alongside a rigorous academic schedule we aim to nurture the talents of all our students and we provide an exhaustive list of co-curricular activities, leadership opportunities, community service opportunities, enrichment programmes and careers advice. Above all we are a community, and like all good communities our strength is in working together to support one another and develop the unique talents of each individual member.

Our academic programme is based around the rigours of UK A-levels following the Cambridge or Edexcel examination board syllabi. We believe that this programme allows a flexibility and choice that best suits our individual students. All students are guided and supported in choosing a selection of 3 to 4 A-level subjects through a comprehensive programme starting with the use of the highly renowned ‘Futurewise’ programme. Alongside considering future degree and career options we guide our students into nurturing their individual interests and talents as we endeavour to enthuse our students with a love and passion for learning.

We look forward to welcoming you to Garden International School Sixth Form; the Sixth Form of Choice.

Our GIS Diploma is an essential part of our Sixth Form offer. The skills that are developed enable our students to be fully prepared for life beyond GIS. Every year our alumni reach out to tell us about the versatility of the transferable skills developed as part of the programme.

A GIS Diploma is awarded to students who:

Achieve at least three good A-levels

Complete the Extended Project or Enrichment Programme

Our world-class programme develops the characteristics of strong leadership from a young age. Sixth Form students have the opportunity to take the lead of a strand within the student leadership structure. They develop and run leadership programmes for all Student Leaders from Years 7 to 11.
